ZIONIST ORGANIZATION OF AMERICA OP-ED   Mort Klein on Newsmax TV: Hint of Antisemitism' in DirecTV's Removal of Newsmax By Nicole Wells (FEBRUARY 10, 2023 / NEWSMAX) Mort Klein, national president of the Zionist Organization of America, told Newsmax Friday that he believes there is "a hint, at least, of antisemitism and Israel-bashing" in DirecTV's decision to cut Newsmax's signal two weeks ago. "We're really, really concerned about this political bias and this immoral act because Newsmax is one of the few stations that regularly has positive, accurate stories about Israel and the Arab-Islamist war against the Jewish state [and] about antisemitism that's rising dramatically in America," Klein said during an appearance on Newsmax's "National Report." "Newsmax repeatedly has stories about this, unlike the other stations, which have far fewer. "They've had stories on the truth of President [Joe] Biden's appointments to posts that affect Israel," he continued. "In fact, every single one of those appointments is someone hostile to Israel. So we think that there was a hint, at least, of antisemitism and Israel-bashing in this action to remove Newsmax, this important news outlet. And we wonder if there's pressure from the White House or [former President Barack] Obama or others to affect DirecTV's removal."

DirecTV, which reported profits last year of $2.7 billion, deplatformed Newsmax on Jan. 24 in what the company claimed was a "cost-cutting" measure. That was the same reason given when it removed conservative OAN last April. DirecTV has claimed Newsmax was demanding "excessive fees" that would cost them "tens of millions" of dollars.     READ MORE Share This Email   Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment.
